Arno Gisinger was born in Dornbirn in 1964. He studied history and German philology in Innsbruck and photography in Arles. His training and his particular interest in the interplay between photography and historiography led him to develop transdisciplinary artistic work on the visual representation of history and memory. He lives and works as a photographic artist, curator and university lecturer at the University of Paris 8 in Saint-Denis, near Paris. In 2023, together with Roland Stecher, he curated the exhibition “Hiller. The Photographic Memory of the Bregenzerwald” for the Vorarlberg Museum.
